As I said, I have been reading voraciously lately. While I do enjoy it, it is as much out of necessity as anything else. Something I have come to realize is I have a really low threshold for boredom. I think I have an overactive mind, because anytime I feel bored I have to alleviate it somehow as quickly as possible. This applies to everything in my life. While I certainly can appreciate a quiet moment here and there, my mind starts to scream if the sensory input I receive is not stimulating enough.
This can manifest itself in a bunch of different ways. At any job I've ever held, it makes me a conscientious worker since I keep switching tasks to be engaged. At home, once I get bored of reading, it has made me a chore machine in order to vary my activities. But like I said, in some situations, this can be a problem. In social events, I sometimes cannot contain my boredom and I can come across as brass and rude. Rather, I am being those things, almost in spite of myself. Let me be clear: I am not openly being a jerk, I simply mean I am gone quickly if I feel underwhelmed.
The point is, more chores and other unpleasant activities are much higher on my priority list since I don't have any massive time consuming hobbies to focus on anymore.
